Yes Canon simply had...

    Mega Problem Pixma ip 5000/ Easy Photo Print program..sudden onset !!!

    Hi again, this sounds like I am getting in a way over my head with the "CCleaner" program. The better half looks after that sort of thing and is unavailable at the moment due to a work assignment. I don't know if Canon will be able to assist with this tomorrow, as they were the ones who advised...

    Canon mini 260 photo printer

    I have a Canon pixma 5000, Canon notebook printer, Canon ip 4300 all for home use. I use the ip 4300 for some of my photo printing but get most of them done by an outlet. I travel to the north of our country to see my relatives in a remote area and so this Christmas would like to have a compact...

    Thx for all of the replies, I decided to go out and buy the Pixma 5000. Had the extra cash and like the unit very much. Should I have a problem I will have the identical one for a backup. That indeed makes me very happy!!! I simply don't like the direction that printers are going in and like...

    Canon pixma ip 5000 and pixma ip 4000???

    Hi, I thought I should do one final query here. The store that I can get the Pixma 4000 at for $99, just had 2 Canon Pixma ip 5000 models brought in and phoned me as I was planning on going over tonight to pick up the Pixma 4000. I thought that I should post to get experienced users opionions...

    Canon pixma ip 5000 and pixma ip 4000???

    Sorry to start a misunderstanding, what I meant to say is that there is "only the model 4000" in stock and "the 5000 model is Un-available." I was in a hurry typing this as there is only ONE model 4000 left and I didn't know if I should spend $99 plus taxes and the quality be very poor compared...

    Canon pixma ip 5000 and pixma ip 4000???

    I have the Pixma 5000 as indicated in my initial query in my original post. I have a friend that works at a store that is clearing out the older canon's and can get me a Pixma 4000 for $99 (5000 available) and I was thinking of getting it for a spare printer, in the event that my 5000 develops a...

    best cartridges and 4x6 photo paper for canon pixma ip 5000

    I spoke to a Canon tech this A.M. and they indicated that the difficulty with the 1 pico liter printing from the 6e dye base cartridges is the fact that the viscosity is very fine and since one does not know what the viscosity is of G & G and other prefilled cartridges as some companies may...

    best cartridges and 4x6 photo paper for canon pixma ip 5000

    I take it then after reading everything so far that I should insure that i do a print out at least weekly to insure the nozzles don't start to get plugged is that right? (That is if what I am working on does not require computer useage) Also if I use the cartridges from G & G Save On Cartridges...

    best cartridges and 4x6 photo paper for canon pixma ip 5000

    Is this b/c this cartridge likely gets the most useage for document printing??, however I thought the 1 pico liter issue was for the ip 5000 an issue that involved the coloured cartridges and clogging of the head because of inferior ink compatability. The replies certainly help in search of the...

    best cartridges and 4x6 photo paper for canon pixma ip 5000

    Good response that indeed makes the marbles move around. Why is it that these places that you can fill your own cartridges don't know the brand of ink that they carry? While I am doing my researching here, just so I understand this. The critical inks then are the black 6, yellow 6, magenta 6...

    best cartridges and 4x6 photo paper for canon pixma ip 5000

    I went out yesterday after reading the posts and phoned around and none of the after market ink jet cartridge companies know what kind of ink they have. They all say they use what their head office sends them. I mentioned the names like MIS, formula labs , and hobbi colours and they look at me...

    best cartridges and 4x6 photo paper for canon pixma ip 5000

    I really appreciate the responses to my post it gives me a base to start investigating. Has anyone had experience with Staples Ink which I mentioned the cartridges are 3 mls. larger and you save $10 for all 5 cartridges. But of course I don't know what type of ink is in them, they say a clone...

    I am new to this forum and new to this canon printer, though i have older model canon bjc's. What I would like to know is what apart from canon's photo paper is best for this printer as I note that it is heavier than the staples glossy brand which is 74 lb and other papers. When I spoke with...
